Quantum Computing Week 3 Update
I have completed the IBM course on “Basics of Quantum Information”. Last week, I learned about the limitations of quantum computing, teleportation, and superdense coding.
In quantum computing, it is impossible to copy data like we do in classical programming languages.
x = 10
y = x
To copy a qubit, we need to read it first. However, reading a qubit changes its state, destroying the original state due to it being in superposition(50/50). Teleportation and Superdense coding are two ways to transfer information, where Entanglement is the core principle.
To be honest, I am still finding it hard to grasp everything. I think I only understand about 15% right now. Maybe with another 2-3 months of consistency, I will improve. But I am loving the time I spend on this future technology. It feels like a well-spent hour.
After completing the IBM course, I was looking for what to read next. I found two good sources: Black Opal and the Fundamentals of Quantum Information course by TUDelft.
I wanted to start with TUDelft’s course, but I figured it might need more experience. I felt I might not be able to do justice to it right now, so I decided to do it later.
I am starting with Black Opal. I browsed the website and it looks really cool. I checked the LinkedIn profiles of the founder and key people, and I loved their vision. So, I decided to go with Black Opal first.
That’s it for now, See you next Sunday!
